📌 Pinning this intro: Hello! I’m Ryan and I dabble as a #ttrpg writer, when I’m not being a dad/painting miniatures / enjoying a tabletop Wargame / doing a bit of improv in Cleveland / stretching my creativity as a Marketing professional. All my games are here: theyoungking45.itch.io

The largest fine to ever hit Meta came after a jury found the tech giant guilty of nearly 44 million violations of state consumer protection laws: arstechnica.visitlink.me/q8iZm-

Kicking off a new mini-series of Boundless by @farirpgs.com with session zero and episode 1. Join me as I explore the dark fantasy world of Lightfall and discover what horrors await!

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

I've got an early look at Rustic Road 55 and I am very excited for this new Hints and Hijinx mystery TTRPG! It's all the right amounts of spooky road trip vibes. It launches tomorrow on Kickstarter, so make sure to check it out!

Oh yeah we Voidlighting now!

It has been said that Voidlight is the perfect game to bring a honeymoon (Love my community ahah) pandiongames.com/en-ca/produc...

Can you imagine that a game I worked on for two years, designed and laid out myself, with amazing art from Galen Pejeau and a banger of an adventure by Ryan Lucas, has reached 1,300 followers on BackerKit? There’s no big publisher behind this. Just raw passion after years of work. damn

Did I mention the online version of the game is 100% free

Posted some musings on spaceship shapes and a surprise playtest of a solo jousting RPG (!!!) to my Patreon. it's free, so why not give it a look? www.patreon.com/NightjarGame...

Got away with running a #ttrpg for our mandatory team building at work again! This time we survived the crawler apocalypse in @farirpgs.com Breathless (Frightmare Edition) @mythworks.bsky.social @rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com

We just crossed 1250 people for the Boundless campaign. Stoneburner had like... half that when we launched and we made like 45K CAD with the campaign. The economic aspect for the world is different today, but I'm a _tiny_ bit optimistic this one is going to work well. ^^

All – I am so thrilled for this and don’t even have to wait because digital format is available now! #boundless

Alright here goes.... Boundless is being crowdfunded in February, but here's a surprise: you can get the full game and play today! I worked closely with Backerkit to offer a new way for you to "reserve" your digital copy of the game at a big discount that would count towards the total fund goal!

bsky didnt like this file upload, how about this one

Feeling really honored at the amount of work going on to turn my adventure into a proper PRODUCT. Boundless is a great game/toolbox for adaptation and I am looking forward to it getting into more people’s paws. #boundless

First time I’m investing that much time in an adventure and it’s shaping up to be quite the thing.

Thinking about this exchange today

It's impossible to ignore, Trumpism attracts a type.

It has been absolutely a dream come true and wildly surreal to see something I initially wrote a year and a half ago take tangible shape AND get outstanding original art created for it.

Cover reveal for A Feast for the Boneslake, the intro adventure for Boundless written by @youngking45.bsky.social with art by @nightjargames.bsky.social You’ll be able to read it super soon as we prepare for the campaign this February!

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

alright folks have fun www.kickstarter.com/projects/myt...

Today I’ll release the text of the new breathless Frightmare edition and haven and journey rules and the four adventures we’ve been cooking for the game.

⚠️ Accessories are here! RPG Trader just got a big upgrade. Creators can now offer print-on-demand physical accessories for their games - alongside digital downloads & print books. Cards. Dice. Maps. GM screens. Tiles. Character sheets. Game boxes. And it all happens directly through RPG Trader.

Hi everyone - big news, please help me spread the word, and come by if you are in or near Connecticut! @jmstar.bsky.social will be at Wesleyan to give a talk on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 12 pm in RLL Common Room (300 High Street, Middletown, CT) about designing games for empathy and resistance.

I've been silent recently, as there's a lot of stuff going on (not the "good" kind, sadly). Anyway, here's a free version of Voidlight for y'all to enjoy. If you like it, buy the full game and support a friendly indie designer who's going through a rough patch. ❤️ hope you like it

Game Room series continues 🕹️ I’m always so pleased whenever people comment on these pieces, and have added the most recent ones so they’re up! Game on 💪 enerjax.storenvy.com

everyday when i wake up

catching up on @rangedtouch.bsky.social 's lord of the year and this stupid 0.5 second joke has been inhabiting my brain for days.

I didn’t have kids when #starlink popped off but I’ll be damned if I didn’t get one of them Arwings. I would have KILLED for one of these when I was 10!

Ya boi @rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com is too kind! I’ve been thrilled to be working on a sort of “launch” adventure for Boundless (a great, flexible, fast-to-learn and adapt #ttrpg ). Here’s a sampler of the adventure’s inspirational source imagery… 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

some great boundless coverage here substack.com/home/post/p-...

love when people make fanart of my games, this is by Kerova over on substack for my game boundless farirpgs.com/boundless/

So, I got into tabletop games by hanging out at a friend's game shop. (I'd met him while clubbing.) This was a fairly typical FLGS. 40K, Friday Night Magic, a coupla V:TM tables. The core group of dudes where old uni mates. These were true-blue grognards. They used to play Napoleonics. 1/

Still can't believe this made it to prime time. On a Nintendo platform no less 😂
